Excerpt from Forfarshire
County, or the district presided over by a count, is a norman-french name and was not used on this side of the Channel until the Conquest. The title of count was regarded as the equivalent of our car] and was soon replaced by the latter, though the earl's lady is still called countess. For long the earl's duties and privileges were those of the original count. The comes, or companion of the king, he was the ruler under his sovereign of a county or shire, and he derived an official revenue from his earldom.

Excerpt from Forfarshire
The county contains many relics that point back to the dawn of civilization in these islands: its ancient forts and camps belong to a time when history was yet unwritten. Its ruined castles and strongholds are inti mately associated in song and story with the wild warfare of clannish and feudal days. Its abbeys, cathedrals, and other religious foundations are proof of its wide influence in the ecclesiastical affairs of a bygone age.
